convinced by showing them my
"credentials from Mr. Roan,
Mockhisej's manager, and then
another snag proved to be in the
-Sway. The eleventh, Mockhiser's
date, had a counter attraction m
the shape of a street fair. I got
round that by making a deal to
combine the attractions. XhenI
found that all this had delayed me
so that I'd missed the local train
for White Wyandotte,
Now I had to get to White
Wyandotte to make arrange
ments. I simply could not stay in
Orpington over night. Perish
the thought especially after siz
ing up the only hotel. I went
down to the depot to see if there
would be a freight I could take.
There wasn't. Nothing would
come by but a through express,
which sometimes hesitated, but
did not take local passengers. I

Wyandotte, expecting every min

still alive when the train halted
there, and I dropped off with just
barely enough strength left to
crawl up town.
By the way, Mockhiser ought
to be rousing them up at Razor
back this evening. I wonder if
he found every detail of my ar
rangements to his satisfaction.
No messages front headquarters 1
have reached me at all. I'm dying
fjo know if I'm doing as well as
expected.

The other day a barrister was
airing his indignation. He had
been robbed. It was shameful the
way things went on right under .
the eyes of the law. Finally the
judge noticed the fretting and
fuming. , '
"What's the matter?" he asked :
""Matter? It's a confounded
outrage ! Had my overcoate stol
en right from this room!"
The judge smiled. "Overcoat,
e"h?" he said. "My dear fellow,
that's nothing. Whole suits are
lost here every day,"
